摘要

Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is emerging as a potent signaling-lipid mediator. In this study, we investigated the effects of SPC on melanogenesis using cultured human melanocytes. Our results show that SPC significantly inhibits melanin synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner, and further that it reduces the activity of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting melanogenic enzyme. SPC treatment was also found to induce short-thick dendrites in human melanocytes, but not to reduce tyrosinase activity in a cell-free system, whereas kojic acid directly inhibited tyrosinase. These results suggest that SPC reduces pigmentation by indirectly regulating tyrosinase. In further experiments, SPC was found to downregulate microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and tyrosinase, and Western blotting showed that SPC induces the activations of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and 90 kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK-1). Moreover, the specific ERK pathway inhibitor, PD98059, blocked the hypopigmentation effect of SPC, and abrogated the SPC-mediated downregulation of MITF. These results suggest that the ERK pathway is involved in the melanogenic signaling cascade, and that ERK activation by SPC reduces melanin synthesis via MITF downregulation.
